Feed the Children has announced the addition of a new member to its board of directors. Oklahoma City-native, Dr. Cody Elledge, has joined the global nonprofit’s board to help further its mission to provide hope and resources for those without life’s essentials.

After earning his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University in 2006, he opened Elledge Chiropractic & Acupuncture. In addition to his practice, he owns several other businesses throughout the Oklahoma City area.

He has been recognized, locally and nationally, by his peers in the chiropractic community for his expertise in outstanding patient care and educational instruction throughout the U.S.

He has a heart for helping children across the world and is a past board member of the Cavett Kids Foundation. He plans to further his passion of helping children in need through Feed the Children’s programs and initiatives.

“Dr. Elledge will be a great addition to our Board of Directors,” said Travis Arnold, president and CEO for Feed the Children. “As we continue our work to create a world where no child goes to bed hungry, he can help educate our community on the value of working together to tackle the important issue of child hunger.”

Feed the Children works at home in Oklahoma, across the U.S. and around the world to defeat childhood hunger.
